Seven Requisites for Healthy Grief

  Significant progress in reducing any false-self wounds.

  Awareness of (a) healthy-grieving basics, (b) our grieving policies, (c) our tangible and invisible losses, and (d) the impacts of our losses on us and key others.

  Confidence in surviving our losses and their impacts;

  Steady personal and family commitment to healthy grieving;

  Consistent inner and outer permissions to (a) feel and (b) express shock, confusion, anger, and sadness; and to (c) identify our losses and what they mean to us;

  Motivation to meditate, sort out, feel, and move through the phases of each grieving level at our own pace; and…

  Time, compassion,  and patience.
